The idea of helping to ease org customizations is good and will reduce
the barrier to entry to new persons.
But it seems that 40 is too large for the new user and too small for
the power user.
Instead if we split up org usage into some broad categories, the
relevant customizations for that would be less bulky and so more
accessible.

Here is a tentative list of categories with some example customizations

* Web publishing
   #+AUTHOR
   #+OPTIONS : toc:nil
* Latex publishing
* Brainstorming
  (setq org-odd-levels-only t)
  (setq org-hide-leading-stars t)

* My-own-private hyperlink system
  (define-key global-map "\C-cr" 'org-remember)
  (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)

* Time/project mgmt
*** Agenda-ing
*** Time tracking
*** GTD-ing
*** Journalling
* Tables and spreadsheets
